32nd ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures
Online (originally in Philadelphia)
July 14-16, 2020
The 32nd ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA '20) is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups on Algorithms and Computation Theory (SIGACT) and Computer Architecture (SIGARCH) and organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science.
The inaugural workshops and tutorials plan to be held on July 14, 2020! This is the Call for Workshops/Tutorials.
Please note that due to the Corona crisis, we decided to turn SPAA 2020 into a virtual conference that will take place at the same time as originally planned.
(NEW!) The conference program is available (PDF version).
(NEW!) The tutorial abstracts are available.
(NEW!) The conference proceedings are freely available for one month.
Important Dates:
- Abstract: Feb 8
- Full Paper: Feb 15 AoE
- Rebuttal: April 13-15
- Notification: April 24
- Camera-ready copy due: May 13
Information for Paper Authors:
- Authors will be responsible for registering the accepted papers for inclusion in the proceedings by following the Registration page.
- More instructions for preparing and submitting the recorded talks will be sent out via emails.
Information for Attending the Virtual Conference:
Attending the virtual edition of SPAA 2020 is free of charge. Please register here. The registration will be pending for approval upon verification of your information.
Summary of the conference logistics for attending:
- Videos of paper presentations will be available before the conference start date on the SPAA 2020 Youtube channel.
- Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email that includes directions on how to access Zoom, Slack and Gather.
- Three Zoom live sessions will be scheduled: Tutorials, Outstanding papers presentations, and Business Meeting. All of them use the same Zoom link included in the confirmation email.
- A Slack workspace is available and an invitation will be sent to you shortly after completing the registration process. There will be one Slack channel per session. Session chairs will be available to moderate discussions and Q&A.
- A Gather room has been created for socializing. The link and password will be included in the confirmation email. We encourage attendees to meet in the Gather room, which will be open the entire time. The rules of Gather are simple; it's a spatial chat, if your avatar is close to another avatar (or a group of them), then your audio/video will be automatically turned on and you can see/hear close-proximity avatars, and vice versa.
